SHAMANIC HEALING INITIATORY PROCESS (S.H.I.P.)
The Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process (S.H.I.P.) comprises a series of five transformative initiations each aimed at fostering deep inner-healing and the transformation of dysfunctional patterns. By healing old wounds, participants awaken their inner-shaman, gaining access to greater love, wisdom, and power from within.
The S.H.I.P. retreat weekends can be completed in any order over the course of one year. Upon completing all five, individuals become eligible for ordination as Shamanic Ministers. This accomplishment marks the initial step toward becoming a Shamanic Breathwork® Practitioner. If you have further inquiries or if there's anything specific you'd like to know, feel free to ask!
There are five distinct archetypal cycles of healing and change in our lives, each with a unique mood, feeling, and identifiable characteristics. These cycles serve as keys, unlocking a deeper understanding of our inner terrain as we navigate change. Acting as a map of alchemical transformation, they illuminate both positive and shadow aspects of our psyches. Understanding the element associated with the current cycle enhances our ability to embrace its characteristics, using it as a guide in our journey. -Linda Starwolf
